Hypothyroidism is the most common hormone imbalance of dogs. This inability to produce an adequate amount of active thyroid hormone leads to a decrease in the metabolic rate, causing a variety of symptoms in multiple body systems.
Most cases of canine hypothyroidism are caused by autoimmune thyroiditis, in which the dog's own immune system attacks and destroys the cells of the thyroid gland. Once enough cells are destroyed, the body is no longer able to produce enough thyroid hormone and symptoms result. Other less common causes of hypothyroidism might include cancer, congenital issues, dietary iodine deficiency, or environmental factors.
